The way my luck has been the last 18 mnths, i was definately going to to be carefull and stay at home today seeing as it is friday 13th!
Phone call.....semi palmated sandpiper on burrows.....i just had to do it. Arrived at makepeace, was pointed in the right direction and found it tagging along with2 little stints....life tick! Thanks Wendy for the phone call.
It did stay at distance so i was unable to get any pics. Apparently it has been spending a bit of time in front of firth hide, so after a while i relocated to there hoping it would come and join me for a photo session, but not to be. Other birds of note at firth, were ringed plovers, 7 ruff, bartailed godwit, greenshank, 3 snipe, a few dunlin and the juvenile black tern. After a while i made my way back to the visitor centre, for a coffee and a chat.
Getting used to the wheelchair now, especially since ive got a nice new comfy cushion. I need to put my engineering skills to the test to set up a scope support on it.
My mobile phone died recently, and i havent been able to get any of my numbers off, so anyone who knows me, please ring me or text me so that i can get your number back.
I will post a few pics later from my recent trips out.

About Me

From as early an age as I can remember I have been fascinated by nature and wildlife, I have also enjoyed photography since my mid teens. Since my wonderful wife Sue bought me a decent lens for my 50th birthday, I have been able to combine the 2 loves which has culminated into something much greater than the sum of the 2 parts. Sue did ask "would you get the use out of the lens?" Well to say yes would be an understatement, Sue either regrets bying me the lens as I am now never at home, or it was a cunning ploy....
My career of an electrical and mechanical engineer, has in the past not allowed much time for getting out with my camera, but my current situation now allows this a bit more, and I am loving it, although it is a bit restrictive in the areas I can get to due to being stuck in a wheelchair!.I hope anyone looking at this blog enjoys some of my pictures.
If you want a chat then I can normally be found at RSPB Dungeness where I volunteer in a visitor experience role on most Tuesdays and Fridays.
